Things have been a whirlwind around here and I just realized that I never posted my entry to the Angry Robot Remix contest.
You see, Angry Robot Books has a theme song composed by John Anealio and they thought it would be great fun to have people remix it. They posted the original song elements and a contest was born.
The contest closed on April 1st. I’m not sure how many entries there were, but they are now being judged. The winner gets a role in Matt Forbeck’s next novel for Angry Robot – and a very nasty death is guaranteed too!
Below you will find my submission. The original version can be found on John’s bandcamp page.
A little about my mix:
- I decided to stay close to the original with some added elements for flavor. Including a “robot voice” seemed a moral imperative.
- I used all free/open source software for new elements as well as mixing including:
- Ardour (digital audio workstation)
- Hydrogen (drum machine)
- ZynAddSubFX (synthesizer)
- JAMin (audio mastering)
- Steve Harris plugins (audio effects)
- lv2vocoder (audio effect)
- JACK TimeMachine (buffer recorder)
- all running on the Ubuntu Linux 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) operating system
